Compatibility & connection
To use VIZTO, your camera needs to capture and upload photos at scheduled intervals via FTP or HTTP. Check verified models, supported protocols and connection requirements before you start.
You can find it on the camera label or box. For example: Reolink RLC-810A, Tapo C310 or Axis M2035-LE.
If it meets these points, it works with VIZTO. No intermediate box or proprietary gateway required.
Using the FTP credentials provided by the setup wizard. Note: motion-only upload is not enough, because a time-lapse requires photos at fixed intervals.
The camera pushes photos outbound to VIZTO, so you never have to touch the jobsite router or firewall.
Many cameras buffer photos on their SD card if the internet connection drops and upload them when it recovers. Behavior depends on the model.
Via network cable (PoE), AC power on the crane or site cabin, or a solar panel and battery where mains power isn't available.
With the exact menu setting to enable on each brand.

Manufacturer documentation ↗Controller for Canon, Nikon and Sony DSLR / mirrorless cameras
DSLR / mirrorless with controller (4G, Wi-Fi or Ethernet)
The controller triggers the camera on schedule and uploads photos via FTP. Ideal for ultra-high-resolution architectural productions.
Manufacturer documentation ↗Controller for GoPro HERO 5, 10 and 11 Black, and Sony cameras
Action or mirrorless camera with controller
Requires the UpBlink FTP add-on to upload scheduled images to VIZTO.
Manufacturer documentation ↗Tempo and Buildcam (4G DSLR controller kits)
4G solar DSLR controller kit
Photos are uploaded to their cloud first and forwarded to VIZTO via FTP. Enable FTP forwarding in your photoSentinel control panel.
Manufacturer documentation ↗Go PT Ultra · Duo 4G
4G with SIM card, battery and solar panel
Field-tested with SIM cards: they upload scheduled snapshots via FTP without wired power or Wi-Fi on site. Pair them with the solar panel and a sensible capture interval.
Tested by VIZTO in September 2026 with a 4G SIM card
Their datasheets indicate scheduled FTP support, but we haven't field-tested them yet. We'll confirm the exact model before you spend the money.
4G Solar Kit DS-2XS6A25G0-I/CH20S40
4G with solar panel and battery
Its datasheet includes FTP upload, but sleep mode pauses scheduled captures so performance mode is required. Contact us before purchasing so we can verify your setup.
Manufacturer documentation ↗IPC-HFW3241DF-AS-4G with solar kit
4G with solar panel
Runs the same firmware as wired Dahua IP cameras and includes FTP in its datasheet. Contact us to confirm before purchasing.
Manufacturer documentation ↗DS-2XS2T47G1-LDH/4G and other battery 4G models
Battery 4G
Its datasheet does not list scheduled FTP upload—only SD card and proprietary cloud. Contact us before purchasing.
Manufacturer documentation ↗Argus · Go · Go PT · Duo 2 LTE · TrackMix LTE · Atlas and other battery / 4G models
Battery or 4G
Two models in this family are confirmed working with VIZTO (Go PT Ultra and Duo 4G, tested with SIM cards). Contact us before buying other battery models.
Manufacturer documentation ↗We would rather tell you before than after. Almost all of them are closed consumer home cameras.
All Tapo home cameras (C110, C310, C320WS, C420…)
Consumer Wi-Fi
Does not support scheduled FTP upload—only SD card and proprietary cloud. TP-Link’s professional VIGI InSight line is supported.
Manufacturer documentation ↗All consumer home models
Consumer Wi-Fi
Closed consumer ecosystems: images only go to the manufacturer’s cloud, with no scheduled FTP upload.
All consumer home models
Consumer Wi-Fi
Store only to SD card or proprietary cloud; no scheduled FTP image upload.
G3, G4, G5 and AI series cameras
Network cable (PoE)
UniFi Protect does not export scheduled snapshots via FTP; it only records video inside its own NVR.
BCC5000, TLC2020 and standalone time-lapse cameras
Battery-powered offline camera
Saves the time-lapse onto its SD card for manual collection on site; does not upload periodic photos over the internet.
Manufacturer documentation ↗Tikee 3 and Tikee 4
4G with solar panel
Uploads exclusively to the Enlaps cloud. Forwarding images via FTP from there requires their paid subscription, meaning you would pay for two platforms.
Manufacturer documentation ↗A very stable and cost-effective setup. A compatible wired IP camera plugged into a 4G router with a SIM card uploads images reliably without needing site fiber.
Otherwise the camera overwrites the same file every time and only the latest photo is kept.
Some battery cameras stop taking scheduled snapshots while sleeping, leaving gaps in the time-lapse.
Many battery cameras only upload on motion. The Reolink Go PT Ultra and Duo 4G do upload at scheduled intervals (we tested them with a SIM card); for any other battery model, ask us before buying.
Tell us about your project and we will connect you with a professional from our network: they advise on camera choice and coverage, handle installation (including at height or on 4G), and can produce the final edit or drone flights.
No. VIZTO is the cloud software platform. You can connect a compatible camera you already own or request hardware supply, installation, and maintenance through a professional in our partner network.
It works with compatible cameras capable of sending scheduled photographs via FTP or HTTP: IP cameras (Reolink, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Milesight) and DSLR/mirrorless cameras with an external controller (such as Bixicon). You can check your exact model in our compatibility checker before signing up.
VIZTO specializes in periodic photographic monitoring and automated time-lapse generation from scheduled captures. It is not a continuous CCTV video surveillance or live-streaming service.
Yes, using a 4G camera or 4G router. Because the camera pushes photographs out to VIZTO, you do not need a static IP or port forwarding on site. For off-grid sites, solar-powered and battery-backed camera kits are used.
Depending on the camera model, many devices buffer captures on their onboard SD card and upload them once connectivity returns. VIZTO monitors each camera’s expected schedule and alerts your team when photographs stop arriving.
Yes, through our professional partner network: installers and audiovisual production companies that supply, mount, and maintain cameras (including on tower cranes) and can also produce the final edit.
What matters is not the brand, but whether the camera can upload photos via FTP or HTTP. Send us the exact model and we will check it for you.
